I’m going to keep speaking out against this administration’s devastating cuts to NOAA and other essential services. I hope more of my colleagues across the aisle grow a spine and also speak up; their constituents will suffer if Trump and unelected billionaire Elon Musk get their way.
Not surprisingly, it’s been nothing but silence from an administration that either doesn’t know or doesn’t care about keeping people safe from natural disasters and extreme weather.
Graphic with text that reads: “Given the gravity of this situation, we demand immediate and comprehensive responses to the following questions:
1.	What specific criteria and assessments were used to determine the necessity and scope of these layoffs, and what alternative cost-saving measures were considered?
2.	What evaluations have been conducted to understand the potential consequences of these layoffs on public safety, particularly concerning severe weather forecasting and emergency response?”
Graphic with text that reads: “4.	With this significant reduction in staff, what measures are being implemented to guarantee that NOAA can maintain its current level of service and fulfill its mission without interruption?
5.	Were industry stakeholders, state governments, and local communities consulted prior to executing these layoffs? If so, what feedback was received, and how was it incorporated into the decision?

6.	Why was there no transparency and prior notification to Congress regarding these severe workforce reductions in a federal agency of such national importance?”
Graphic with text that reads: “7.	To what extent are these layoffs aligned with the objectives outlined in Project 2025, which advocates for the privatization of certain NOAA functions?
8.	What are the long-term plans for NOAA’s core operations? Is there an intention to outsource or privatize critical services that are important to Americans?

9.	What provisions are in place to support the displaced employees, and is there a plan to rehire or replace critical staff to prevent service disruptions?

10.	Have all legal and contractual obligations been met in the execution of these layoffs, and how does the Department plan to address any potential legal challenges arising from this action?”
Elon Musk and his co-President Donald Trump are dismantling NOAA, and the consequences will be catastrophic—especially for coastal communities. I led 113 of my colleagues in demanding answers from Commerce Secretary Lutnick about this reckless purge.
Graphic with photo of Congresswoman Bonamici at a rally to save NOAA and text that reads: "Bonamici, 113 House Democrats on NOAA purge: 'We demand an immediate halt to these workforce reductions, reinstatement of employees terminated in these mass layoffs, and a full review of the decision-making process that led to this reckless action.'"
Graphic with text that reads: “Dear Secretary Lutnick,
We write to express our profound outrage regarding the recent mass layoffs at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The termination of hundreds of dedicated scientists, meteorologists, and ocean experts, particularly from the National Weather Service, is a reckless decision that puts American lives at risk, undermines critical climate research now and in the future, and threatens the economic well-being of communities across the nation.”
I helped lead the most recent 2 updates to the Older Americans Act, the law that supports great programs like Meals on Wheels. In Congress I’ll continue my work to strengthen and protect the OAA and other services that help people age with dignity.
Meals on Wheels helps bring nutritious meals and connection to older adults in Oregon and across the country. It was wonderful to connect with staff and seniors and help serve meals at the Elsie Stuhr Center in Beaverton.

Dismantling the Department of Education will hurt all public schools, but rural schools will be hit hard. As one Eastern Oregon school board member said, “public education is on the chopping block, and it’s a travesty — a disaster for our country and our state.” www.opb.org/article/2025...
Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Congressional Republicans are trying to gut Medicaid to pay for tax breaks for the wealthy. I stood with care providers, community members, and SEIU and AFL-CIO workers say not on our watch!
Yesterday in Beaverton I walked with students, educators, and community members in defense of public education, because as one sign read, “public education is an American right.” And it’s not a right that Donald Trump can take away by executive order—which he should know.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk most likely have never stepped foot in a public school. That’s why they don’t understand that public schools are here for every student regardless of who they are.
I just heard that later today Donald Trump is going to issue an order to shut down the Department of Education. That’s the wrong direction for students and the country. Please join me in the fight to protect public education.
I joined students, educators, and community members in Beaverton to stand up for public education. Public schools serve every student, and federal funding helps close the gaps to support low-income students, students with disabilities, and more.

It was an honor to introduce Mayor Lacey Beaty at Beaverton’s State of the City address. I know Beaverton is stronger because its leaders champion diversity, sustainability, and smart investments in infrastructure that will help this community continue to grow.

And now Donald Trump and Republicans are threatening to impeach the judge who issued the ruling. These are the actions of a dictator, not a democratically elected leader, and today United States Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts wrote that...
